This study doesn't address genetics. Rather it is measure amounts of soluble blood proteins. For all intents and purposes, your DNA is the same in every cell. We know this because we can pool DNA from multiple cells and sequence them.

Microfluidics as a field is relatively new (last 10 years or so). This study is at the "microtiter" scale, which is the scale that companies such as theranos are trying to take advantage of. Microfluidics is largely an industrial

As far as I can tell, this is just a python wrapper for common bioinformatics tools? I feel like this might not be sophisticated enough for bioinformaticians, but too complex for the casual user or clinician. Unfortunately, proper bioinform

Neat, particularly for urban applications, but it'll never be as cost effective as actual field planted crops. The future of robotic farms is in the fields, not in the factory.

The fascinating thing about chemistry's impact was that it was production that drove discovery. It was companies, not governments who asked the big questions. Conglomerates such as Bayer and BASF drove the development of ammonia, dyes

Give me 200 bucks and an ebay account and I can buy a lab that will run circles around this crippled mess. Kids want to be empowered, not patronized. The intended user for a kit like this would be a 12-16 year old. At that age they are old

The realities of biotech made real. Somehow, "move fast and break things" doesn't quite translate to biology.

Hard limits on GRE scores are reasonable. If you can't pull at lease a 75th percentile on your subject GRE, you probably shouldn't be trying to get a PhD in it. Personally, I got >90th percentile with a bare minimum of studying
